Strawberry picking out at the pick-your-own farm recently we spotted this well-positioned pit stop of repurposed chep pallets. In a few hours these seats were taken up with strawberry pickers like ourselves from being out in the strawberry fields eating and picking strawberries! Only kidding, it took us no time at all to fill the box you buy then fill with succulently sweet rosy red strawberries. (I dawdled a little taking a few photos too). We made a family morning out of it and enjoyed being out in the fresh air. We actually did 2 visits on successive weekends and made some delectable strawberry treats in the kitchen.
Do you have some place like this to get out and pick-your-own some time during your seasons? In this current closed-border time of 2020, all the transient fun-loving holiday backpackers living the life down under aren't here but home in their respective countries. With this labour shortage we did our bit for the growers and WOW the spoils were ours. 
Oh that sand we walked through to get to the designated strawberry rows to pick! It was like walking on the beach. My grubby feet needed a soak after I seemed to acquire enough sand in my sneekers to build a sandcastle or two. Thank goodness for my lavender sugar scrub which was the pamper my slightly gritty feet needed for a clean up when I got home. Like the sound of that scrub? You'll find a post about it on the blog if you click here. You'll find it in the search categories too.
I help heart-centred driven people like you think more about growing food and the idea that the gardens which surround us can be a place not only to grow food, beautiful blooms to feast our eyes on and a place to unwind from the sometimes crazy world which surrounds us. If we grow a little in the garden, we learn a lot and grow in ourselves ! If all this growing sounds like you, well hello ! How about signing up for my blog today?
